"In later years, holding forth to an interviewer or to an audience of aging fans at a comic book convention, Sam Clay liked to declare, apropos of his and Joe Kavalier's greatest creation, that back when he was a boy, sealed and hog-tied inside the airtight vessel known as Brooklyn, New York, he had been haunted by dreams of Harry Houdini."
The first line from The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon.
And I keep thinking to myself: I will never be as good as Michael Chabon. And I have never used the word "apropos".
